Chapter 18 - Finding Out.

Rei held Kai tightly in his arms; his current feelings were indescribable, his mind flooded with relief, he could have lost everything because of one mistake he couldn't even remember doing.

He looked down and smiled, Kai's eyes could hardly stay open, and the others noticed this as well.

`Maybe we should leave, Kai really should rest.' Tala said to the others, Kai lifted his head from Rei's chest, `first, don't talk about me like I'm not here, I hate that! And second, I'm not tired so you don't have to go if you don't want to.'

The others smirked raised their eyebrows at him, Kai looked round at all of them, `I'm not tired!' he said in an agitated voice, one thing Kai hated was to be treated like he was some sort of fragile doll.

Kai lay his head back down on Rei's chest, he loved lying like this, and he felt relaxed, tranquil and most importantly, loved.

This was a feeling Kai was new too, and it was one that he had craved for so long.

Rei smirked at Tala, and gently ran his hand up and down Kai's back, which made him relax, and as they suspected, he was asleep within minutes.

`Not tired my ass.' Bryan mused, `Sometimes he can act like such a little kid.'

`That's probably because he wasn't allowed to when he actually was a kid.' Ian sighed.

Sensing that an awkward conversation would arise if questions were asked, Tyson quickly stood up and whispered, `Maybe we should leave him to sleep for a while, I doubt he'll wake up for a while yet, why don't we get out of here for a while.'

`Tyson's got a point, we should get some air, I don't know about you but I'm hungry, lets go get some lunch.' Max said.

They nodded and got up, all but Rei, `You coming Rei?' Ian asked, Rei shook his head.

`I think I'll stay with him, I don't think he'd appreciate it if he woke up and everyone had left, plus if I move he'd probably wake up anyway.'

Max turned back around, `Well do you want someone to keep you company?'

Rei smiled and nodded his head at Kai, `I've got Kai, go on! Before Tyson wastes away.'

They smiled and left.

The group left the hospital building and went down the street, where there were a selection of cafés and restaurants to choose from.

`Ahhhh so much choice, so little time.' Tyson said as he shook his head, Tala rolled his eyes, `Well hurry up and pick one will ya, I'm starving!'

Tyson dragged them into some pizza place, where they were greeted by a waiter, Tyson stepped forward hurriedly, `Hey dude, table for 7 please!'

The waiter nodded and led them to their table; `One of our waiters will be with you in a second.' He said in a polite voice and he left them.

They all grabbed a menu and started reading it, as they did this they didn't see a young man approached them, he got out his note-pad and a pen, `Hey there, can I take your…' he stopped dead when he saw who it was.

The others looked up and anger rose in all of them.

`You…' Tala growled.

Back at the hospital, Rei lay with Kai wrapped round his slender frame, fast asleep.

Rei stared out the window, admiring the view, the sun was out and sky was crystal clear and had an amazing ocean blue color, long, thin trees were dotted around and the sun shone through their vivid green leaves, giving them a beautiful golden rim.

He was pulled out his awe when someone entered the room.

`Oh good, he's getting some rest, sensible lad.'

It was Dr. Myers, he walked to Kai's bed and checked his stats, he nodded and smiled, `Well I'm happy to say that Kai's recovering a lot faster than we thought he would, he should be able to leave in the next few days.'

Rei smiled, `Good news, I'll tell him when he wakes up.'

Dr. Myers walked to other side of the bed, so he was nearest to Rei, and sat down.

`Rei, I need you to tell me exactly what happened the other night, it will make things a lot easier for Dr. Yates and myself to pin-point what it is that makes Kai fell like this.'

Rei sighed and told him the story. Guilt stabbing him like daggers as he explained

Dr. Myers nodded, `Okay Rei, thanks, that will help us.'

He got up to leave but Rei stopped him, `Doctor, what's going to happen to Kai now?'

Dr. Myers sat back down, `Well, we're going to have to keep an eye on him even more so now, but really It's Dr. Yates decision, you can talk to him about any concerns when he visits Kai this afternoon.' He smiled gently and walked out the room.

Back at the restaurant…

`Tala, let him go! He's not worth it!' Bryan pleaded to the red head.

Tala had slammed Jun against the wall and was currently clutching the front of his shirt so hard his knuckles were white.

`You bastard, do you have any idea what you've done?' he yelled at him.

Jun looked at Tala with fear,

`I swear! I was drunk, I didn't mean to brake them up!'

Tala glared at him, `that's what you were hoping for wasn't it you son of a bitch! Well, guess what? They haven't broken up, if anything you've made them stronger, but that's not why I'm restraining myself from causing you the worst possible pain in the world…'

Jun looked up at him confused.

`No, I'm doing this because my best friend nearly died because of you…' he was cut off when a large man appeared.

`What's going on here! This is a restaurant, not a boxing ring! And I won't have anyone mistreating my staff, so if you would please leave…'

Tala turned to him and plastered a fake, evil grin on his face; `Sure…' he turned back to the cowering Chinese boy and leant up to whisper in his ear.

`…You'll get yours, you mark my words…' he released his hold and left, followed by the others.

They walked up the street and heard someone call out to them, they all turned around to see Jun run after them.

`You got a death wish or something?' Tala growled, Jun stopped, panting from running and held up his hand, `Please, I don't want trouble, just please tell me this, what do you mean he nearly died?'

Tala felt livid, he walked up to him and shoved him against the wall and held him by the throat.

`He's in hospital right now from an overdose and alcohol abuse, he's in hospital with butchered arms, he's in hospital because of you!'

Jun's eyes widened, `Holy shit! I nearly killed someone! All to save my own skin… I have to tell them…'

Jun looked at Tala with pleading eyes, `Please, I must see him, and Rei, I have to explain something to him!'

Tala's eyes narrowed, `You so much as look at either of them and I'll kill you, now fuck off and stay out of their lives!'

He released his hold and stepped back.

Jun pleaded, `You don't understand, they have to know-'

Tala towered over him, `Know what?' he shouted.

Jun shrunk under him, tears forming in his eyes, `I was blackmailed into doing it! I didn't want to do it! But she made me!'

`What? Who made you?'

Jun stood up, `That's what I have to tell Kai and Rei…'

`Not before you tell us, now spill!' It was Ian's turn to get angry, he stepped forward and he and Tala pinned him to the wall, the others crowding round him.

`It all started when…'

At the hospital, Rei felt Kai squirm and murmur, he looked down and Kai held a very pained expression.

`Don't hurt him…Please! I'll train harder, I won't loose again!' Kai mumbled

A ten-year-old Kai stood before two large men, two other men stood behind them holding a slightly older boy with brown hair.

`I warned you Kai! Failure and weakness is not an option here, especially from you! You represent everything I've worked for, any weakness will be eliminated, you understand?'

The old man, Kai's grandfather, towered over the young boy.

`Don't hurt him…Please! I'll train harder! I won't loose again!'

Voltaire knelt down and grabbed the boy, looking directly into the young boys eyes, a serious expression on his face,

`I see weaknesses in his eyes Boris, I see fear and I see vulnerability, its sickens me, I thought you had him under control!'

`Sir, I thought I had, obviously I was wrong, allow me to make things right…' he pulled out a pistol.

The old man smirked, `Permission granted…'

Kai screamed and he struggles against his grandfathers hold, `No! Please don't do it! Alex! ALEX!' a gun shot was heard, and the slightly older boy fell limp in the men's hold, the carelessly let him go and the boy fell to the floor.

Kai saw his face, eyes wide open and glazed over, and an expression of terror ruled his face, a bullet hole in his forehead.

Kai shook violently and felt warm tears roll down his face; he felt a fist contact his cheek.

`That was punishment for your weakness, now you know how serious we are, we will not tolerate it, do you understand me?'

Kai was silent, he held his stinging cheek, the old man grabbed him and shook him violently and yelled `I SAID DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?' a whimper escaped the little boy's lips, `…yes sir.'

Kai sat bolt upright, panting and sweating, Rei quickly sat up and wrapped his arms around him, which made Kai scream, Rei held him tighter, `Hey, it's me, it's ok…'

Kai's breathing started to slow and tears stopped falling from his eyes.

The door suddenly opened, the group walked in, Tala in front.

`Kai there's something you should- hey what's wrong?'

Kai looked at Tala with his tear-stained face and smiled slightly, `I just dreamt about Alex, that's all…' The demolition boys looked at him with sad eyes, but Rei stiffened, not realizing Kai was upset.

`What the hell are you doing here…' he growled as he gazed across the room and spotted Jun, Kai followed Rei's eyes and saw him as well, his grief was replaced by white hot rage.

`Get out…' he snarled, Jun shook his head, `I'm not leaving until I explain…' he said in a weak voice,

`Either you get out and leave us the fuck alone, or I'll tear you to pieces and make you wish you'd never met us…your choice fucker.' Jun didn't budge.

Kai tried to rise, but Tala put his hand on his shoulder, preventing him.

`Kai about ten minutes ago I would have let you do this, but you really should hear him out…'

Kai looked confused, as did Rei, Rei looked over to Jun, `Well?' he snapped, `What is it?'

Jun shifted his feet.

`Well, I was sent to blackmailed into breaking you two up, I never wanted to kiss you Rei, I was made too! If I didn't then I would be ruined!'

Jun started to feel scared being under Kai and Rei's strong gazes, he tried to speak again, but no words came out.

Rei rolled his eyes, `Jun what the fuck are you talking about? Just spit it out already!'

Jun took a deep breath, `Okay…this is how it happened….'
